So I'm a relatively new GM and a new user here hahaha. I would like to create a homebrew storyline based off the Naruto Universe which takes place before the 2nd Ninja War happened which means that there are no villages yet, just the clans. I chose 8 clans : Uchiha Hyuga Senju Akimichi Yamanaka Nara Uzumaki Sarutobi Those clans would be the races when talking in terms of the D&D campaigns. I want to make them, the players, the reason as to why the 2nd ninja war happened not by their own will though. But first, I need them to meet up somehow and then once they meet up, they would have to do certain things such us go through labyrinths, battle people whom they don't know. I was thinking that all of the clans had a truce before but then one clan wanted to show how mighty they are by ruling over the clans said at the beginning of this post. So I was thinking that the Otsutsuki clan, led by Black Zetsu in the shadows, pushed each clan to battle each other out by showing or reporting to the respective clans that the players were battling each other but in truth, they were transformed white zetsu's in order to start little skirmishes between clans ultimately, being filled with hatred, would start an all out war. The thing is, I don't know how to start the story and how the players would meet. I have little ideas on what could happen during the progression of the game but I don't know how to make those ideas become a good storyline. Could someone help me please??
